How to make sure everyone wears a life preserver when boating? Lend them for free. These are at the John Wayne Marina. I haven’t seen anything like this before.

The Marina
Although the wind was cold it was a beautiful evening last week when the Lady Washington was in Sequim. Here’s a view of the John Wayne Marina where she berthed. And if this is the first time you’ve heard of it, yes, it’s named for the actor. He rather liked to go boating here and his family donated the land for the marina (they hope to further develop the area one day).
A grassy bluff next to the marina provides a great view of Sequim Bay with Diamond Point in the background. There are benches and tables for those who might want to settle in and have a picnic.
On our waterfront
Here’s the launching ramp at the John Wayne Marina, the start of many a happy day on Sequim Bay or out on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. To the left on the bottom floor is the Dockside Grille, a pleasing way to end hunger and one of the more upscale restaurants in the area.
Ready for action
